Your Life, How To Worship God In It.

First off I'd like to begin by thanking all the people who have been praying for my church's worship leader and his wife and newborn son. Their son is currently doing perfectly fine. Now on to the post.

Alright, your life. To many people that means many different things. To some, it means something precious. To others, it is something they feel has no purpose and want ended. To God, it is a precious gift He gave to us that we should use to benefit Him and others completely over ourselves. In our lives God wants us to treat others with kindness, tell them of Him and His Glory and how He can save them. At the same time He wants us to worship Him fully and willingly. We can do this by thinking throughout our day when we do things, how we can do them in a way that glorifies Him. At school, how can I use what I learned to teach others of God, or look at Him and His creation in a more detailed way. At work, with your paycheck, tithing it to your church, using it to by food for someone homeless, taking care of your family. Spending time with friends and family, if they don't know God, introduce them, if they don't know something explain it, start talking about God when you have the chance. Their are so many ways to worship God. But God wants us to worship Him from the time we wake, to when we sleep. Now, I know this seems impossible, He knows that, so that's why He gave his only Son for us so that we may be forgiven. In Psalm 139 it says:

O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord.

You hem me in-behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from you presence? If I go up to the Heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you.

If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away form me, you bloodthirsty men! They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name. Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord, and abhor those who rise up against you? I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.

Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Now, think about that for a minute. David spoke of God in that passage. David explained that God knew us before anyone else did, before anything! That God knows everything we say before we say it! That He will find us in the dark because it is light to Him and He can see! There is no place ANYWHERE that we can hide from God! That He knows all of us better than anyone else, or even ourselves.
Now realize that when David was saying and writing this, he wasn't sitting hunched over talking in a monotone; David was screaming this out! He was worshiping God and His glory with all he had! We need to do the same. I mean the proof is right there in the passage. What God is and what He's done for us! That is reason enough to worship God with all we have.
Now before I continue, if you are wondering why David said that he hated the wicked and considered them his enemies. He was talking mainly about their evil deeds, and wants protection from their evils. In Psalm 140 it speaks of this.

Now, I know what some of you are thinking, "How can this idiot be telling us to worship God when I'm going through horrible crap right now, and have no reason to want to?!?!" Well, that's just it, you DO have a reason. It's that you have Joy. In James1:2-4, it says:

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

This means that when you go through a hard time you should persevere and have patience with the joy that you have from KNOWING that God has a place for you when all is done. James5:10-11 says:

Brothers, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

See that! Our joy comes from knowing that God will take care of us in the end! That joy brings us the perseverance which gives us patience to get through our ordeal and gives us reason to worship him while going through it! That is our reason to worship Him throughout not only our day, but our WHOLE LIFE!!!
Again I realize how impossible this sounds when it comes to doing it. So did God. That is why He sent His only Son to die for our sins.

This is how we can worship God with what we do, and if we're going through a hard time. It's how I did when my Grandfather, who was my second male role model with my dad, died. Or when my dad had a heart attack and I didn't know if he was alright or not. And this is how I get through the rest of the drama and ordeals with my family and my friends. So I can honestly say that it is true, and it does help.
Now, I must say that the inspiration for this came from my youth pastor who he himself is going through a hard time. His wife is pregnant with twins and something is going wrong with them. So I hope that this helps him with getting through it. I also want to take now to ask my readers to pray for him and his wife and their twins. Thank You.
I hope that this helps all of you to worship God in any way you can and no matter what you're going through.

Long Live Jesus Christ
And Long May WE Worship Him
